On Sunday, I performed in Columbus Commons with the Shadowbox theater company, playing a solo set of music and a set of music with the troupe's house band; it was a preview of its production Back To The Garden, a musical about the 1969 Woodstock music festival.

I found Columbus Commons a wonderful venue to perform in, and the almost 10,000 people who attended appeared to find it a wonderful experience also.

I performed at the original Woodstock music festival, and since have performed at perhaps 100 outdoor venues around the world. The Commons rates right up there with the best of them.

This was the fourth time I have worked with Shadowbox and watched Back To The Garden, and it is always a joy to see and hear.

Thank you, central Ohio, for the opportunity to be a part of this great event, and I am sure that both Shadowbox and Columbus Commons will continue to be a joy to the city of Columbus. I hope to see you all again next year.
